Pen Parker 61

Like most pen companies, Parker worked for decades to find the perfect filling system, and when Parker "61" was finally launched in 1956 AD, it was truly a pen from another world. It shared many features with the dominant Parker "51," but it was thinner, cooler, and most importantly, the pen filled itself. No one really knew how it worked, but it did. The amazing filling method of the Parker 61 Nib: Ink reservoir filling system not filled by inserting the nib into the ink and filling by pressing the tube as in other Parker editions. Doman, the legendary designer who designed the exterior of the Parker "61," invented a system with holes designed to hold ink through capillary attraction. The newspaper was rolled inside a Teflon-coated metal tube with three holes at its end, designed to be inserted into an ink bottle with the nib facing up without staining the nib with ink. Then, capillary force would literally draw the ink into the pen, without flipping the levers or pressing buttons or rods—just place the tube in the ink for about thirty seconds, and it’s ready. The Parker 61 is considered the first Parker pen designed with an ink reservoir filling system based on capillary force. Features: Pen body: Fully made of metal coated with pure gold with elegant gold details. Pen cap: Full metal cap coated with pure gold with an elegant clip. Nib: Made of 14K pure gold. Why gold? Gold is a precious, durable metal that lasts for thousands of years. Luxury pens are equipped with gold nibs because gold provides a high level of smoothness when writing, in addition to being resistant to corrosion with frequent use, and it lasts for a long time.
